Herr Most Again Arrested.

Herr Most has been again arrested in
New York for incendiary and unla wiul
speeches. The indictment under which
Most was arrested thus characterizes him:
An evildisposed and pernicious person
and OF most wicked and turbulent disposi-
tion, wickedly and maliciousIy contriving
to disturb the public peace and to excite
the good citizens OF our state TO hatred
and contempt OF the government and make
Instructions.
The speech upon which Most was indct-
ed was particularly blood curdling one:
and was brought out by his indignation
at the hanging OF the Chicago anarchists.
His offense is a misdemeanor, and the long
eat term OF Imprisonment he can get is one
year, with fine He will probably get the
maximum penalty. Most's brother SOL
cialists are highly indignant over the ar
ed outrage OF the police upon their be-
loved leader. In talk with inspector
Byrnes, Most said
The execution OF the Chicago anarchists
was an outrage. He had become imbued
with the auarchistic principles hen boy
He worked at bookbinding, and noticed
that all the money went to che bosses. He
believed that the workingmen should have
things in their own hands and divide the
profits Of work. He did not believe in
marriage VOWS. Men and women should
be able to live to gether if they wanted. He
might not encourage violence directly, but
ii the workingmen could not have what
they wanted 90 fault would be found
with any petjf,n using dynamite. It was
nonsense to say that. Lingg was converted
to anarchy by his {Most'sl writings, for,
he was an anarchist in Germany.

The Casualty Record,

Destructive forest fires are again raging
in llinois. An immense amount OF prop
erty is being destroyed and in some cases
people have to fight for their lives.
Jack Kinzman, a brakeman on the
Winona & st. Peter railway, while running
along the top OF the cars near Meridian,
fell, striking outside the rail on his head
and featuring his skull.
At Bessemer, Mich, an accident occurred
at Anvil mine. Capt. Green and two min.
ers fell from the top of the shaft houes
to the bottom OF the shaft. The two
miners we're killed and Capt. Green can
not recover.
Miss Rendau q French maiden, nine.
teen years, who resided in Chicago, was
buried recently. She had been subject to
violent spasns and fits of vomiting for
many days. No doctor was able to dis.
cover the cause OF her death. On the day
before her death she was seized with a
more violent paroxysm than ever before
There was a choking sensation in her
throat, and finally there was forced up
from her stomach a live young swapping
turtle with a shell rs large as half dollar
The attending physician says that the pa
tient became unconscious and almost i'm
mediately began to swell up in her limbs like
one afflicted with the dropsy. She never
rallied. The turtle is a perfect specimen
OF it's kind, and it is believed that it grew
from a germ swallowed in water from Lake
Michigan

Tt is stated that the extravagant
exemption law in Texas is becoming
q burden rather than benefit to
that state. It was no doubt useful in
the settlement OF Texas to induce i'm
migration. Its operation is now to
keep out capital and raise the
rates OF interest. Texas pays twice
as great rate OF interest as Iowa
and Kansas, because no one can ever
know when a security is valid. for the
homestead exemptions include a
stocked farm OF 200 acres in the coun-
try, or a residence, place OF business
and mechanical appliances in q city
much more, in fact, than most people
hope to own.

about by other bishops as the friends OF
both parties, and a sum OF money was
raised by them To- defray in part Mr.. Hin
mans legal expenses. In the statements
which were presented to the courts Bishop
Hare says that while the acts imputed to

trial he fully believed them at the time.

statement.

my character and not for any IL poney dam
age, none OF which do ever mean to re-
ceive, and further, I assert my innocence
in respect to all the eimputationsc con taircd

and trust that he will ultimately come to
that conclusion. | have no doubts that

~ remarkable to call for special notice.
and serves to explain the fact that twenty

claims awaiting adjudication. Nearly
three times more claims were presented
in 1887 than in 1881. The increase is at
tribntable to new legisl alton and decisions
OF the supreme court and the second con-
troller.

it on the subject. The act is as follows:

The Civil Service Commission has
nearly completed a very radical re-
vision and systematic arrangement
OF its rules, and when they are ap-
proved by the president they will be
promulgated. Among the changes
made are the abolition of the forty
fve-year-a ago limit which now applies
to certain classes of public employees.
There never has been any reason for
this rule. The idea a capable and ex.
perienced man OF forty-fve is not as
well qualified for public employment
as callow youth OF eighteen has long
been felt to be an absurdity.
